Employment of Cullen Cullen & Katie
Cullen and Katie originally developed an interest in YouTube during their time in Tallahassee. Initially, it was made so they could stay in contact with their loved ones. On September 13, 2006, Katie created the channel using the pseudonym bamachick1101; the first video was uploaded on September 20. The video, titled “Kitty Flipping Out,” features Cullen and one of their pet cats playing. They made occasional posts in the months that followed.
Their vlog debut date was May 27, 2011. Their videos had merely a few thousand views in these early years. Although a few videos received tens of thousands of views, they were extremely uncommon. After they began vlogging for almost a year, Cullen decided to devote all of his time to YouTube.
It took some time for the channel to become successful. The majority of their movies had begun receiving tens of thousands of views by 2014. Their subscriber base was also growing at an exponential rate. They have now become one of the most popular family vlogging accounts on YouTube. With 10 million views, “Chuck-E-Cheese Birthday Celebration!” is the most popular video on their channel.
Cullen uses other social media sites with the same vigor. He has over 240 thousand Instagram followers and 105,000 Twitter followers. They now have over fifty thousand fans on Facebook.
In addition to their primary channel, Katie has a personal account on which she uploads videos about hauls, cooking, pregnancy, and parenting. Ellie and Jared Mecham from the “Ellie and Jared” channel and Bryan and Missy Lanning from the “Daily Bumps” channel are also family vloggers that Cullen and Katie are close friends.

After a few years of employment as an accountant, he started his own company. On March 26, 2015, Howard Byington III passed away from cancer.
Sometime in the early 2000s, Cullen and Katie met during a football game. Despite their mutual attraction, Katie was already in a relationship. After she had broken up with her former lover a few months earlier, her friend Brooke informed her about a party that Cullen would be attending. They reconnected during the party and soon afterward began dating. In just ten days of courting, they declared their love for one another. She lived in Tuscaloosa, and he was still in Birmingham at the time. They continued a distance relationship for the next two years.
At one point, they split up for two months because neither of them felt the other was the appropriate fit for them. Cullen continued to call Katie every day even after their breakup, which finally convinced her that she would be lost without him. In August 2005, they picked up again, and he later relocated to Tuscaloosa to be with her. In the same location as their first date, he later proposed to her. On May 12, 2007, they were married after she gave her consent.
They relocated to Tallahassee, Florida, after Katie was offered an internship there. There, she finished her schooling, and Cullen worked from home. After a while, they went back to Alabama, decided to start a family, and bought a house. In January 2013, they learned that Katie was expecting a child. Nevertheless, she miscarried eight weeks later. They finally decided to vlog about it even though they had originally not wanted to. They called the tragedy “God’s Plan” in the video. In September of the same year, Katie experienced her second miscarriage. On September 21, 2014, Macey Gaines, their daughter, was born through cesarean section. July 19, 2016, saw the birth of their son, Brooks.
